Smashing the monsters with a weighted ball💥 is a fun, engaging way to add heavy work into your child’s day!
Integrating a weighted ball adds more resistance and can create a more regulating impact on a child’s nervous system. This type of proprioceptive input supports regulation and body awareness, making it a great addition before mealtime to encourage better participation and a calmer, more organized body at the table.
Other great times to sprinkle in heavy work throughout the day:
✨ Before transitions (like leaving the house or starting homework)
✨ After school to decompress and reset
✨ Before seated activities that require focus
✨ During movement breaks to prevent overwhelm
✨ As part of a bedtime routine to promote calming
